Tuesday-So the night was ok until Cody woke up. He had so much pain medication that he did not wake up for the bathroom. He was pretty embarrassed. In a way, that is good. The fact that he felt embarrassed makes me think he is so much better. I keep telling him that we are not here for the chronic issues he had before, no line infection and not here for diarrhea and/or vomiting.

They took him for procedure around 12 today. He came through it with flying colors but with lots of pain when he urinates. The good news is that the fistula is not connected to his bladder. Great news, actually. Still perplexed as to what this is but doing more viral studies. The course of action is fluids which he is getting lots of and pain management while we see if any viruses come back. He felt good other than the excruciating pain when he pees. He even ate an ice cream tonight! Hoping to get the good word to go home tomorrow or the next day.
